Object description

whole: four separate images occupy the majority, set against a black background. The title is separate and positioned
beneath the upper two images and beneath the lower two images, in blue. The text is separate and positioned in the lower quarter, in black
and red, and held within a white text box.
image: the upper two images illustrate the effects of the state-controlled economy: a man in old, patched clothing, his hands full of
worthless banknotes; a farm being inspected by officials. The lower two images illustrate the effects on the same two scenes of the lifting
of state restrictions: the man wears new clothes and looks down happily at a pile of coins in his hand; the farmer waves to an official who
rides past on a horse.
